Hey Mark,
The "difficult" part about getting sander.APBS built correctly is
simply getting apbs and iapbs properly built (iapbs is what actually
provides the library necessary to make APBS functions available to MD
engines, so if you haven't built this, that is why the link is failing
with undefined references to apbs functions).
The instructions on
http://mccammon.ucsd.edu/iapbs/usersguide/building-iapbs.html are
quite good there. I usually use apbs version 1.2 which can be found
on sourceforge. I also passed --disable-openmp as an apbs configure
flag rather than an iapbs configure flag, since I was really only
building that apbs for sander.APBS and had no need for openmp support.
Next, just make sure that, according to the APBS_PREFIX set in the
above guide, the environment variable APBS_LIB is set to
$APBS_PREFIX/lib prior to building. I typically attempt a sander.APBS
build right after a serial build so that all other parts of the code
(i.e. sqm?) that sander may link to have just been built in a
compatible fashion. I don't know if it's necessary, but it's what I
do. Then, go to $AMBERHOME/src/sander and run a make -e
AMBERBUILDFLAGS="-DAPBS" sander.APBS and it should work. It does for
me on my mac os x 10.6 with gnu compilers (so obviously I didn't
follow the setting of the intel compilers in the iapbs directions
above).
Thanks!
Jason
